That's just the way I see it, I don't work for a gaming company so I don't know if that's how they'd see it, or if IW even cares about PC anymore. Hell this could even be their way of transitioning people from console to PC? Realistically they're all becoming one and the same now anyways, so it's a bit odd to have different online setups for each one.

I don't think thats true. Just cause they're the same game it doesn't mean its one and the same. If things were to migrate, I would want it to go the dedicated server route. I mean, if it was dedicated servers, wouldn't everyone be able to play on the same server, regardless if its a PS3/360/PC. I really don't know the infrastructure of how the online works.
Couldn't they see that the PC gaming community was outraged cause of this? The feedback should have been enough to at least give IW and nudge and make them go "maybe this wasn't a good idea."
I got CoD4 on both the 360 and PC. I prefer single player on the 360 since the game does look a lot better on a HDTV instead of a monitor. The multiplayer on the PC was better since I could choose what servers to play in. Different servers had different communities and different types of players in it. And if you take gaming seriously you have the option to set different settings based on the rules of the match.
